Probably time for a Kyle Rittenhouse thread.

[Homesteaded]

ADULTS instigated the aggression, they chased after KR. He tried to deter being chased, they continued to chase him, he only shot when they grabbed his gun. He immediately runs to the cops to turn himself in, on the way to do this he is attacked by multiple people and taken to the ground. Hit with a rock in the back of the head, hit in the neck/head with a skateboard. He attempts to get up and there is a man with a pistol within 5 feet of him pointing it at him. He shoots him, gets up and runs.

He was there, that is not a crime. He administered first aid to several people, he put out several fires. How you can honestly think this kid was out there instigated just shows you have no idea about the facts of this case and are taking all of your information from outside sources with an agenda.

I think the reason people like you(complete pussy), have an issue with what happened here is because it's jarring for you to come to grips with the fact that a 17 year old naive kid has more guts and pride than you. He was there to defend his community from criminals. While you sat in your moms basement reheating dominoes this kid is out there trying to make a difference.

1) Grosskruetz could have shot Rittenhouse and he would have gotten off on self defense in the exact same way the Rittenhouse is likely to.

2) Rittenhouse could have hit an innocent bystander with any of those shots he took and could have gotten charged and convicted for reckless homicide

There are a million different possible outcomes that could have happened that night. Rittenhouse is extremely lucky to have escaped with his life and didnt wound or kill any innocent bystanders. He is extremely lucky.

The lesson here is two fold: guns will only destabilize a situation and make it more dangerous. Secondly, the police are the best equipped to handle these situations. We don't need everyday citizens arming themselves and getting in the way of police.

Far right complete with derogatory terms behind a computer screen on a forum meant for an aging game; lashings out, when he himself feeling backed into corner when argumentatively wrong.

Homesteaded: "He was there, that is not a crime."

Only it was a crime to be there after curfew. And before you say it was a time and not a location; you are wrong because they go hand in hand. (Too bad the bias judge waived that charge.)

Kyle shouldn't have been there and even if you ignore his social media like the judge; where Kyle outlined his intent;
you can't argue that it was JUST self-defense when he played a role into creating the situation, which Rittenhouse did (both by being there with that gun and pointing it at others even before the shooting.) He was asking for trouble and his attitude lead to the escalation with the victims.

And we know that Rittenhouse intentionally put himself into harm's way by his own words; that is what they call motive.

Curfew lol...come on man. Watch those videos, the streets are full of people violating curfew, including the deceased. Utterly moot point.

ya i think so too and that is quite fair

the other guys were just as culpable, two wrongs do not make a right, nor absolve Kyle's contribution.
